BECOMING REGISTERED WITH OUR COMPETENT PERSON SCHEME

BFC CPS

Many jobs undertaken in the home or at the workplace fall under the requirements of the Building Regulations and the work needs to be notified to the Local Authority. This work also needs to be approved to be compliant with Building Regulations. The notification and approval process can be undertaken by the Local Authority Building Control Department or a private sector approved inspector on a job by job basis.

However there are many jobs where the work can be ‘self-certified’ as compliant and subsequently notified to the Local Authority via being registered with a Competent Person Scheme that has been approved by the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG).
